In the southern part of Boston, there lies South Station’s “Great Hall”, a railway station that unites thirteen rail lines, people of different kinds, and has access to the main streets of south Boston. South Station which is located right in front of the Fort Point Channel was built and officially opened on January 1st 1899. With its location, it has made it easier for those traveling and moving from Back Bay Station to Summer Street. Its location makes it accessible to the many local attractions, not only through its exits straight to Summer Street, Dewey Square, nor Atlantic Street, but also through the Subway located underground that was created in 1985 which included the Red and Silver lines, giving the station it’s formal name, “Boston’s Gateway”. Because South Station is architecturally built large, it is capable of accommodating hundreds of travelers in its great hall.
